Apply to now HCC and be admitted. Apply now to the RC program and you can download the application "on line" via a pc with internet access. Mail it or put it in the drop box. The instructions are on the application.

Make an appointment with one of the academic counselors or advisers at the Dale Mabry Campus. The program manager does not reject or accept students into the respiratory care program, nor do any of the program faculty. That is done through the admissions department.

Other requirements are successful completion of the “Prerequisites for Admission”. Preference is given to the highest grades in these courses.

For information about the respiratory care profession see and listen to the video, “Life & Breath” and click on the website for AARC, our national professional organization and the FSRC, our state society.

Please note that the website name for the FSRC has changed to fsrc.org

Also, the following respiratory care departments of these local hospitals are willing to take you on a tour.

However you must call the hospital and ask for the respiratory care department. Tell them why you are calling and request an appointment.

Re. Licensure: If you have a criminal record the state may refuse to grant you a license. You need to contact the State of Florida Medical Quality Assurance (MQA) Board for Respiratory Care. Also HCC may deny your application to any health program including RC.
